“Just do register analysis”, they said. “It’ll be easy”, they said: Evaluating the impact of lexico-grammatical tagging systems on multidimensional analysis
This study systematically evaluates five open-source lexico-grammatical tagging systems for multidimensional analysis, revealing that while they successfully replicate general register distinctions, their resulting dimension scores vary significantly due to inconsistent feature operationalization rather than differences in underlying NLP pipelines.
